Yea i just got home from the ladys house and i just looked at my babys and there looken great today. I put some water in a 5 gallon bucket going to let it sit till about 5:30 pm and it will have been outside 24 hours to get the chlorine gone. Whats your guys take on the water and the chlorine? I did not fill my pots all the way to the top is it gona be a big deal? Also if i need to move the smart pots further from each other i am thinking two people grab each side?

Going to try to get 3 more clones today banana kush cotton candy and apricot guy told me it was really rare Moneys goin quick dates and growing are taken a toll on my wallet!! haha I will post pics soon.

Every year I think I'm gonna letmy water sit before I use it. And then by the end of summer, they are using so much water I just couldn't.

Actually I never noticed any ill effects. My lawn grows green as hell on tap water! lol!

Good luck, looking good

peace

One of my buddies grows with tap water all the time and does good, but he's mostly feeding synthetics so it doesn't matter. It is counterproductive to the microbes, the chlorine and such, but I don't believe it completely wipes em' out.

heres some links for water info. ive been looking into chloramine lately. that is chlorine and ammonia combined. if your water supply has this additive in it, it will not evaporate out of the water, no matter how much you let it sit. there seems to be conflicting points of view on whether it harms plants or not. just FYI

Whats up everyone! Today warmed up a lot down here in southern california I am going to give girls a little more water here soon i think. As far as the ratios go i basically got a plastic bin mixed half bag of happy frog and ocean forest threw about 8 quarts of perlite in the mix a long with 1 to 1 and a half cup of lime. I am honestly just kind of winged it and hoping for the best!


Tomorrow morning I got a order of a apricot clone witch the guy told me was real rare, banana kush as well as cotton candy. So I am really hoping I bought good clones. I will be posting pics soon!

Thanks everyone for the support i would not be were i am today with out all of you!

that soil mix looks pretty decent is it the recipe i gave u? that clone looks so big! could probably flower it in a couple weeks if it were inside, but it should grow big over the summer then grow even bigger in the fall. so i'd be real happy and excited if i were you, i am just from lookin at it in pics. wait til i see it in a month maybe
